His adventure to some remote islands in Papua New Guinea was supposed to be short, but instead it turned into a four-year crusade. It was here that this brilliant man started a revolution in anthropology as we know it today.

      Malinowski left behind life as he knew it to experience life with the natives. His adventure would forever change the victorian notion of the simple savage. This documentary examines how he transformed how view our own society.

      In 1967 his private diaries were released and with it revealed a complicated truth. Who was this mysterious man? What forces drove him to become the success anthropologist that he was? Bronislaw Malinowski is an informative film taking you into the founder of anthropology’s life and into his mysterious diaries.

      Malinowski was most famous for his study of the Trobriand Islanders. He approached this study in the most effective way he knew possible. The film will show you how he became known for his theorizing methods of studying the natives by using participant observation and detailed note-taking.

      what a boring condescending arrogant poor excuse for a human being he was. And the documentary is as boring as he was. Yawnnnnn…………zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

      It is an insightful outlook on the origins of modern anthropology and a frank and scrutinised analysis of its architect, Bronislaw Malinowski.

      I enjoyed it very much. The study of anthropology is the study of humans, good, bad or indifferent. The contradictions of his life take us to a deeper level. It made me think, "why as humans we do what we do"? What drives us? We are all driven by something, some things good, some bad and others, time will tell. Whatever his motives, he changed our view on the world. I find it hard to judge someone from 1918 from 2009, I was not there. I grew up in a very different light. The growth of education and enlightenment changed my view from those of earlier generations. He, even reluctantly, had a part in that. Very insightful video.

      I enjoyed the documentary. I didn't know much about Malinowski before and this was a nice informative introduction.

      I have read few of his studies and i was surprised by the fact that he could easily explain differences, for example between magic and religion, in a very logical manner. On some ideas he is even more accurate then Emile Durkheim, a structuralist which is often mentioned in Malinowski’s studies. I was eager to ad a face and a personality to this anthropologist i only knew from his own papers.
